Networked and Convergence Culture

Culture is being transformed by how people use digital networked technologies for creation, circulation, consuming, and searching of media content.

An important question to consider is the quality of the publics as well as their strength. What does it make a public strong? what are the characteristics of a precarious public? And also, what happens when the formation is actually a semi-public?
